Thousands of papers and reports have flooded the academic sphere during this period, as scientists have rushed to understand the virus, which,
according to the journal Science, “acts like no pathogen humanity has ever seen”. (Källa: Independent)
What initially appeared to be a predictable respiratory infection, similar to Sars or Avian flu,
Sars-CoV-2 is now known to affect the lungs, brain, eyes, nose, heart, blood vessels, livers, kidneys and intestines — virtually
every organ in the human body.
The studies that have been conducted into Covid-19 present a vast array of symptoms and
long-term effects among those who suffered severe infections:
scarring of lung tissue; kidney failure; inflammation of the heart muscle and arrhythmias; liver damage; cognitive impairment; psychosis mood disorder, and much more.
evidence suggests that
even those who suffered from a mild case of Covid-19 may go on to struggle with issues long after the virus has left their bodies.
The damage ranged from the formation of blood vessel blockages within the lung’s alveoli, which absorb oxygen, to scarring of lung tissue, researchers at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan found. This scarring or thickening of lung tissue — known as pulmonary fibrosis — can lead to increased breathlessness among sufferers. There is currently no treatment that can stop or reverse this condition.
In a separate Wuhan study, researchers analysed the CT scans of 81 patients with Covid-19 and found signs of
fibrosis even in those who had had no symptoms. Writing in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases last April, scientists said it was unclear if these lung changes were “irreversible”.
Some people who are struck down with severe cases of Covid-19
could be left with lung damage that takes as many as 15 years to heal.
Listan är lång och skrämmande vilka konsekvenser de som smittas med Covid19 kan drabbas av. Ändå så släpper Sverige detta virus vind för våg. Jag förstår inte hur de tänker? Har de inte informerats om riskerna? Varför gör inte våra politiker något??
